Denis Wick Aaron Tindall AT6U Mouthpiece

Very large funnel with straight walls in the cup. Large throat. The rim, designed by Warren Deck, is one of the most comfortable rims ever made, featuring just the right amount of width and bite to give the player a sense of comfort and stability.

Precision Engineering

Original lead-pipes from Meinl-Weston, B & S, Yamaha, Eastman, and Miraphone were used in this process. The exact matching of mouthpiece, instrument receiver, and leadpipe is vital to achieve the correct response from modern tubas.

Testimonial from Aaron Tindall

"I feel that upon trying these new models, the performer will immediately notice an increased sense of improved articulation, intonation, greater endurance, and significantly enhanced power in both the high and low registers. Along with these comes an ease of playing accompanied by a richer, broader, truer sound that we believe is currently unmatched by many of the other competitors in today’s market."

AT6U / AT6UY

Cup Diameter: 32.8mm
Bore: 8.40mm

This new mouthpiece, designed by Aaron Tindall, is specifically for F tubas. It features:

• A slightly shallower cup than the AT5U.
• A more bowl-shaped design, delivering a powerful, well-centred sound ideal for both orchestral and chamber music playing.
• A rim designed by Warren Deck, offering unmatched comfort and stability, thanks to its perfect balance of width and bite.

The mouthpiece produces a rich and vibrant sound with plenty of focus. A distinct ‘shelf’ at the bottom of the cup helps achieve a concentrated power, resulting in a sound that projects beautifully.
